My young kids absolutely love this finger-play board book that is perfect for some silly Halloween fun! Hands-on rhyming books like this one aren’t just amusing for toddlers, though; they promote social, language, and fine-motor skills.

Each page in Fingers for Lunch by Brandt Lewis and Cori Doerrfeld has a funny little poem and a scene featuring a blue monster, his pet dinosaur, and a few of your wiggling fingers. CHOMP! Watch your pinkies.
